looks like Assad wasn't fazed a lot by Trump's grandstanding

[tycho1572]

Obama was a complete failure. Trump isn't afraid to make the tough decisions that scared obama.

that you Jared?

ISTANBUL—Just hours after the U.S. damaged a Syrian airbase linked to a chemical weapons attack, the Assad regime and its Russian ally launched three airstrikes against the very same rebel-held town where Assad was accused of using poison gas to kill more than 100 men, women, and children on Tuesday.

The attacks on Khan Sheikhoun and seven other towns appeared to be both a taunt and a warning to President Donald Trump’s administration: that cruise missiles may have damaged the Shayrat air base, but Syria has many other bases, ample munitions, and the political will backed up by Russia to continue targeting civilians.

The latest airstrikes on Khan Sheikhoun utilized small conventional rockets, and there were no reported injuries, given that much of the population had fled the town. But at least 10 people were killed in a regime or Russian airstrike against Hish, just north of Khan Sheikhoun, a few hours before the 4:00 a.m. U.S. cruise missile attack.

In Irbin, east of Damascus, a woman and two children were killed and many civilians wounded in a regime airstrike on a public market and a mosque. There were also attacks on Jisr al Shughour, west of Idlib, the city of Douma east of Damascus, Dara’a, Latamnah, and Kafr Zeta in northern Hama.

Assad, Taunting Trump, Mounts New Attacks on the Town He Gassed

same mistake made by a few previous presidents like LBJ and Boosh

airstrikes and propaganda never settle foreign civil wars, wars we wouldn't even be in if not for Bush destabilizing the entire region for no reason whatsoever, except maybe to appease his neocon bosses

lol Why would Assad be troubled by the attack? He has killed hundreds of thousands of Sunni Syrians over the last six years and he seems perfectly unfased by the experience. Assad's regime is completely dependent of his Russian masters and his Iranian financiers and the attack was addressed to the Russians to tell them there are clear red lines they may not cross without consequences.

I don't believe all that for a second

lol Is there anything in particular you don't believe?

sure do: the attack was addressed to the Russians to tell them there are clear red lines they may not cross without consequences.

total bullshit

What makes you think so? The Pentagon and State Department believe the Russians were at least partly responsible for the chemical attack and we know Assad can't wipe his ass without permission from Moscow, so whom else could the attack be addressed to but the Russians? From their response it is clear the Russians felt humiliated by the attack. Keep in mind they were notified ahead of time of the attack and their S-400 radars would have seen the missiles coming and could have shot down many of them, but they just watched and did nothing. Now the US has said it is prepared to do more if there are anymore chemical attacks. In other words, the US has told Russia what the red lines are and has said it launch more humiliating attacks on Assad's military infrastructure if Russia allows Assad to cross them again.

lobbing cruisers at a minor airfield and causing Assad nothing is grandstanding

If you are paying attention, clearly it did. You guys really have no idea what you are supposed to believe, do you? First, you hated Putin because you claimed he liked Trump, now he is your hero because he appears to be in conflict with President Trump.

that sounds like something straight from Steve Douchy, or another Faux News talking head

 

[Harry Dresden]

Trump at least made an effort to stop chemical weapons. No one was afraid of Barry.

no he didn't, he's grandstanding

is blowing up obsolete aircraft (newer ones removed after Trump's heads up to the Syrians and Russians) is an effort to stop chemical weapons it's gonna cost us a few trillion bucks and 10-15 years

wonder how Iraq is doing since their 'liberation', anyone wanna hazard a guess?

Wow.... lol
You really have no clue about why it was important for Trump to order that strike, or the message it sent.

do you?

Do I understand the importance of Trump sending a clear message to Assad about using chemical weapons? Of course I do.
It was a message obama failed to send in '13 after Assad crossed that 'red line'.

well except he didn't send a 'clear message'

why did Assad go on a rampage after the useless strike?

think he cares with Russia standing by? lol

what was he supposed to do johnny?.....run and hide in a cave somewhere?...

"Which is correct?
The user-training for the new business intelligence software was extensive, in the hopes that employees would be __________ by the change.
a. unphased
b. unfazed


Answer: b.

Explanation:
A phase is a stage; the word is usually a noun. People may go through phases but we don’t say they’re phased when they do so.

Faze, on the other hand, only means to disrupt someone’s composure. It comes from an Old English word, fésian, meaning to frighten or to startle into flight.

Interestingly, we only seem to use faze in the negative sense. Someone is not fazed by something or was unfazed — you don’t hear about people being fazed."

soft power is much more productive than bombing civilians night and day
